Call Board rooms at IL O'Clock this
morning, the official hour for the begin-
ming of trading. One sale of 100 tons
was made at $1.24, a decline of eleven
cents from the latest official sales on
Friday.
NOT MUCH BUSINESS DONE.
Business on the exchange was prac-
tically at standstill the entire day,
the chief subject of discussion being
the proper course to be adopted in the
matter OF holding delinquents legally
responsible. A proposition to refer
the matter to the attorney of the
the Board for his opinion, was
adopted, and proceedings were de-
ferred until it should be obtained.

duce Exchange was adjourned this
afternoon on the receipt of the legal
opinion that it was not necessary to
make rates on account, during the
first session of the board after the

reverted for the time being the neces-
sity of marketing under forced sale

of which would have been disastrous.

amounting to over 5000 tons will be
sold as soon as possible and the pro-
ceeds applied SO far as they will go

SPOILS OF THE SEA.
DIR. PancOast Thinks He Has
Found the DeBrakk Wreck.


PHILADELPHIA, August 29.-Dr. Seth
Pancoast, who sometime ago organized
a company to search for the hidden
treasure of the privateer De Brakk,
which Is supposed to have sunk off
Cape Hennepin in 1913, is very en-
thusiastic over his enterprise. He
says: "After many vicissitudes l
think we have located the De Brakk
about 81 of mile from the breakwater.
We explored the bottom for about one
square mile and at last found a
mound.
THEY THINK THEY STRUCK IT.
When we sank our probing iron into
the mound, we met resistance about
2 feet below the sand. Then our rod
suddenly plunged through something
which felt like rotten deck. If the
vessel be the De Brakk, and l have
no doubt that it is, we will get the
treasure out in short time. There
is at least 80, 900 900 there"

The Story Of Irene AlstOm.

Some there are, borne to poverty, yet
endowed with the instinct Of Unsuitable
craving for knowledge and truth and
light; and these are urged irresistibly
through privations dire and over OBJ
stacles impossible to common folk, on
to the goal of qualification. Such a one
was that poor Finnish girl, the first wo-
man Of her race to obtain the degree OF
Phi. D., the story Of whose trials and
triumphs is told in q recent book by
Fraulein Sohr.
Irene ASTON, as she tended her
fathers cattle in the "land Of q thou
sand lakes" dreamed and pondered
over all the marvels of science and
learning which seemed forever o sealed
book to her poverty and ignorance.
Yearning to be wise, yet seeing no hope
in q gray life of toll and struggle, at
last she prayed to die, that she might
reach Q sphere where her cravings
would be satisfied. A humane pastor,
diyining her longing, sent her to q good
school, where she passed as fourth
among forty-six young girls at the age
OF 10. though only prepared by her own
self-help. She took work in earnest
here, often sitting up all night thinking
over the days tasks while her COM
panions slept all round her, and after
ward when o q day pupil she had to
provide her own meals, she sometimes
went to the classes fasting ave for the
fresh snow she picked up and ate on
the way. For her father was totally
ruined, and she must soon leave school
and begin earning. For awhile she
brayely suppressed her longings, and

In these days of artificial teeth, bor-
rowed hair bustles, and other accessor-
les belonging to the mysteries of the
toilet, not to mention the laying on of
powder and pigments, one is not alto
gether startled by the announcement of
o London firm which proposes to mold
the form Of a woman to almost any de.
gree. What with the makeup" and
"get-up of the gentle sex, and the nu-
merous so-called aids to female lowell
ness now in use, it is indeed hard to
tell whether we are to believe our eyes
or not. What are we to think of a cor.
set possessing such power that words
cannot describe its effect on thinnest or
other bust?" Soft patent regulators, +"
we are told, delightfully."- comfortable,
laced more or less closely, regulate any
desired fullness and roundness Of
ideal" beauty, SO exquisitely perfect
and natural as to defy detection. We
are further informed thousands have
worn it-with perfect secrecy-some
years, and will never wear any other. "

A Butter Jubilee.

A butter jubilee was recently cele-
brated at Anderluht, a little village in
the suburbs of Brussels. This fete,
which was signalized by a cavalcade
and popular games, is a relic of the
middle ages, and is intended to COM
memorate the day when Charles V.
authorized the peasants of Anderluht
to stamp on Their little pots Of butter
they send to the Brussels market an
imperial crown in relief. His i'm
perial majesty Once wandered within
the precincts of Anderluht. There he
saw a maiden fair whom he loved not
wisely but too well. When the friends
and relatives discovered the slight that
had been put on their young townswo-
man, they are said to have proceeded ell
masse to the palace of the royal La
thario and to have demanded justice.
1t was accorded in the shape of the
aforementioned permission, and the
all-powerful Charles decreed that in a
pound of Anderluht butter there
should be five quarters instead of four,
each of which should be sold for the
same price as the legitimate fourth of
less fortunate makers. The reader who
visits Brussels and is tempted to in
vest in Anderluht butter will now I'M
derstand why it is cheaper to buy it by
the pound than by the quarter.-We

Poison Trees Of the Caribbean.

We came to numbers of machineel
trees. These are SO far identical with
the deadly uEas that their effects are
nearly the same; quite, so far as testing
them and getting away alive permit me
to say. If q raindrop glides from a
machineel treeand strikes the skin Of
an unwary stranger it poisons instantly
with effects like those of poison ivy. !"
I did not know the tree when q rain
storm drove two OF us to shelter beneath
its low, thick, glossy.leaved branches,
but in o few minutes dizziness and maui
sea came on, with great languor, and
we got out Of its influence at once to
give il q wide berth for all future time.
Neither of us entirely recovered from
the poison for two or three days. It
appears to exhale from the leaves, is
densest in q rain storm, and is soluble
in water; but its nature has not been
investigated so far as l am aware. Ma
tives say that even handling its wood
will poison the hands of susceptible peo-
pie, although it may have been cut q
long time. -Americdn Magazine.
